HISTORY MADE: SAJ Weekend of Giving!

We did it! With nearly 12,000 gifts and raising over $376,000 thus far, Kappa Sigma has once again made history with this record-breaking effort. Special thanks to the 321 ambassadors who lead the way for the campaign.

In honor of Stephen Alonzo Jackson Day today, we have decided to continue the campaign through midnight tonight. If you have not yet done so, please consider making a tax-deductible gift that will benefit your chapter for many years to come.

On behalf of a grateful fraternity, we thank you for all that you do for the order.

A.E.K.D.B.,

About Stephen Alonzo Jackson

Stephen Alonzo Jackson (Zeta Chapter, University of Virginia) is regarded as possibly the most important man in Kappa Sigma’s history. Through his efforts, a struggling local fraternity became the most preferred fraternity in the world. He was the architect of our Ritual, writer of our Constitution, and was our first Worthy Grand Master. Jackson died on March 4, 1892. During the Fraternity’s second Grand Conclave in 1878, Jackson expressed his ideal and goal of an enduring and expanding brotherhood as he addressed the Order:

“Why not, my Brothers, since we of today live and cherish the principles of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, throw such a halo around those principles that they may be handed down as a precious heirloom to ages yet unborn? Why not put our apples of gold in pictures of silver? May we not rest contentedly until the Star and Crescent is the pride of every college and university in the land!”
